Ways to improve your credit

To qualify for a loan you must have good credit. Here are a few things you should do:

  • Check your cedit score, make sure there are no mistakes.
  • Don't charge credit cards to the full limit.
  • Pay off credit cards every month if possible. Beware of transfering credit card balances to another card, it can lower your credit score.
  • Don't order items for your new home on a credit card. It will add to your debt. Wait until your loan is approved.
  • Avoid finance companies, their interest rates are usually high.
  • Don't open new credit card accounts before being approved for a loan.
  • Wait at least 12 months to apply for a loan after having credit issues.
